Keeping stalonetray on top when you toggle show desktop

I'm sure it's easy, but I can't seem to get my stalonetray to stay visible (it toggles off with the rest of the windows) when I hit W-d to toggle show desktop (LXDE/openbox).
Here's my .staylonetrayrc:
transparent true
sticky true
skip_taskbar true
geometry 124x24+1190-0
window_layer top
window_type toolbar
.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml (just the part with the show desktop keybinding)
<keybind key="W-d">
<action name="ToggleShowDesktop"/>
</keybind>
Any ideas? I've tried the other values for window_type (dock,utility, normal) but it doesn't change anything.
Thanks!
Scott

Hopefully this addresses the same problem that you're having:

By the way, Scott, what an awesome name. I think that it may, in fact, be the best... EVER.

Can you toggle Extended Desktop?

Hey this is my first post here on the board,
my problem has to do with multiple displays. I currently have my LCD TV connected via the mini-DVI to my mac. The extended desktop works great. The only problem is that I don't always want to extend my desktop to the TV screen, I only want to do so when I watch a movie etc. It gets irritating when the TV is turned off and something is on the other screen.
So my question is: Is there some way of turning output to the second monitor on/off? The effect I am looking for is essentially the same as if I pulled the mini-DVI cable out of my iMac. (The main screen would remain and the other would go black, restricting the cursor to the main display).
AppleScript snippets, Automator stuff, Widgets anything!
I hope you can help me out.

Thanks for your replies! You are right mirrored mode would fix the problem iff it wasn't for the fact that the two displays (one being the TV) have different resolutions, this results on black bars on my iMac's screen -- which really isn't cool. Instead I would like to completely stop output to the other display (TV). Just like in windows (the feature called "Extend my display to this monitor" or something like that.
there is no option to do that. you'll just have to unplug the external monitor when you don't want to use it.

Web page keeps jumping to top when scrolling down.

When I scroll down a web page on my Macbook Air with 2 fingers, it keeps jumping up to the top again. This started yesterday, did not happen before.
Also, a rectangle of various sizes has started to appear on the page and this is most annoying.
Any help to rectify this would be appreciated.

Hi ottodv,
I was not able to reproduce this issue on my Flame device running v2.1.
This may be an issue specific to Geeksphone's build of Firefox OS. Are you able to reproduce this issue with other versions of Firefox OS?

Automatic do background work in panelX when you cardLayout.show(panelX)?

Let me first explain what I try to accomplish
+Panel 1: A form that allow people to enter username and password to connect to a database
+Panel 2: Use the connection that just created in panel1 to access database and load data into a JcomboBox
+ContentPane that hold these 2 panel (Layout: cardlayout)
+Top container is a JApplet
So when the program load, I will cardlayout.show(Panel1), then if the user press a "submit" button, I will cardlayout.show(Panel2). Simple enough. Panel2' s job is to silently access a database using the connection that is created in panel1 a load some information onto a JComboBox. My question is how do I design so that when the user press that "submit" button, it detects that now panel2 is in focus so invoke my loadData() that access the database and load data onto the JcomboBox?
Right now i have it so that when panel2 show, the user have to click the "load" button to load information. However, I wish to change that. So please give me some advice.
Thank you very much and happy thanksgiving

A clarifying question - should the uploading and downloading be done on a SwingWorker background thread or should it be on a non-SwingWorker thread? You can do it either way. It's fielder's choice here.
Don't the SwingWorker threads end up on the Event Dispatch Thread?Some methods of SwingWorker are always called in the EDT including the done method and the process method, but the main method, doInBackground, in fact the only method that is required in a SwingWorker-extended class is done off of the EDT. Having methods that reliably work on and off of the EDT is what makes using a SwingWorker object an easier way to create background threads in Swing vs. creating a roll-your-own background thread.

Does the mobile design change when you change the desktop design?

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there's a way to set things up so changes to the text in the desktop design are reflected in the mobile designs? If I make changes to the text in the Desktop version of the site design, is there a way I can have those changes happen automatically (dynamically) in the Tablet and Mobile versions?
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
There isn't a way to do this currently. This idea has been proposed before: http://forums.adobe.com/ideas/2485; please feel free to vote on it.
It would also help to know what fraction of text copy is identical across renditions (desktop/tablet/mobile).
Thanks,

"Show Desktop" bug forces any program windows to be stuck "Always-on-top"

What I found under Windows 7, when you use the "Show Desktop" feature (I prefer the ⊞ Win + D shortcut) and then bring all windows back by using it again, some windows behave as if they're glued to the front of the z-order. What this means is, say, I have windows
A B and C open, with focus on A, hit ⊞ Win +D twice, and now it may happen that if I then want to switch to B or C, either by Alt+Tab or by selecting them on the taskbar, the taskbar shows the highlight, but A stays visible (and usable, it's not just a rendering
issue) in the foreground.
Imagine the following situations, all three windows cascading and overlapping:
A (focus)
B
C
-> ⊞ Win + D
Desktop (focus)
-> ⊞ Win + D
A (focus)
B
C
-> click C on taskbar
A
C (focus)
B
-> click B on taskbar
A
B (focus)
C
And so on. Focus means actual input focus, i.e. in second situation, any keyboard typing is sent to window B while window A is in the foreground.
It does not matter what kind of application; in my current case an instance of Outlook and an instance of Explorer is stuck, while a second instance of Explorer and an instance of Firefox behave normally. This should show that this problem can occur even between
multiple instances of the same application, and that there are no fancy applications involved that like to pretend they are the most important program and internally force "always on top".
Showing and unshowing the desktop again doesn't help; in the worst case another window might end up with the "glued to the top of the z-order" too. Between those, I can easily switch, but in order to get a window which still behaves normally on top, I have
to manually minimize the offending windows.
The only cure seems to close the offending windows so far, I've not found anything else that helps.
Could it be that Windows 7 has a bug that can force an ALWAYS_ON_TOP flag
onto some windows when restoring from "Show Desktop", or am I doing something wrong?
More information from another user:
I use win+d. Issue easy to replicate, Win7-64bit-Ultimate.
The affected windows (any program) seem to be placed into a separate "Z" group. You can place multiple/many windows into this always-on-top state, those in the affected state will function normally in relation to each other with the exception that: - The group
as a whole is always-on-top of any non-affected window - The whole group is on top of the taskbar. - The whole group does not respond to (context on taskbar) "cascade windows" or similar commands.
The fact that the affected windows are on top of the taskbar and otherwise function as "special windows" shows that windows 7 has a hidden "feature" of always-on-top that gets applied with Win+D. The feature appears to place windows in a super window state
that is on top of the taskbar. The normal group remaining behind the taskbar. (When you click the start menu or context menu of the taskbar, the start menu/taskbar comes to the foreground of the always-on-top group, however this does not revert the affected
windows, only a temporary takeover until you switch to something other than the start menu/taskbar)
This is key to finding an answer. How do we get windows to unassign the special status or not do the assignment in the first place?

It appeared to have cleared by closing all windows and restarting. Initially I could not reproduce the error, then after opening all my working windows, I did indeed reproduce it on any window.
I almost think it could be initialized with something to do with multiple windows of Chrome, and then the show desktop problem will crop up once one window has it. This was because: After messing around some more with a chrome session saver (session buddy)
and restoring sessions and getting the super state, I restored and closed the window I was in and now I am again at a place where I can not reproduce the error, even in my "work environment" with some 35 chrome tabs in two windows, plus other programs, file
locations, remote desktops and a second chrome profile with another dozen tabs.
So, back to square one with finding the actual instigator of the super state phenomenon.
Once you actually have the super sate issue, the following will reproduce:
Ok, I am doing this as I type it:
Open chrome (to view this website), then Notepad, then Calculator, (could be any windows, but for the purpose of demonstration, follow along with me)
The windows should function normally, overlap your windows so that you can see the edge of all windows and the Z-order is (from front to back):the browser on top, then the calculator, then Notepad (you should be able to see part of the background windows).
Now, with the browser on top, press win+d, then win+d again.
Click on Calculator, then your browser, your browser is now stuck in the foreground. Clicking on notepad will bring the focus to notepad, and it will be in front of the calculator, yet it will stay behind the browser, as your browser is in "super state". (many
arrangements of switching focus after returning from win+d will create the problem, with the exeption of clicking the desktop, I also noticed that I could not get calculator into super state unless it overlapped my chrome browser).
Again, this does not seem to work until at least one of your windows is affected. We do not know how to get the initial window, only subsequent ones.
I will post back if I find anything else.
Let me know if there is anything that develops.

Show desktop function!

Hi all, before I even started this thread. I have googled for a solution and did not find anything. I am currently using a macbook pro 2007 with mountain lion. I am getting frustrated because i cannot figure this one out. So my problem is that when i use the function show desktop, i click on the folders on the dock and everything that was hidden reappeared back to the desktop. I am trying to figure out where you use show desktop where everything disappears, it stays like that until you want it to reappear again. In OS leopard, it works totally fine. I am able to hide everything by show desktop, browse around witthout having it to come back until I use show desktop again.
Is there any solution to this? Its frustrating because i use show desktop so that i can search for something on other folders or even to check files on the dock by clicking and showing stacks.
thank you

thanks for your post scotch. Of course hitting that command wont work lets say if your safari is active. You have to click away to make the desktop active while the windows are up then it will work.
@ macgeniusofnc
My show desktop commanc is set to F11 and bottom left hot corner. Yes it undos the show desktop.
This is something small yet has been buggin me lol. i tried it again with my old G5 running leopard and it seems to work fine. It doesn't undo it.

Conky disappears on show desktop

Conky disappears in gnome when i click "show desktop"
own_window yes
own_window_type normal

Last edited by playdafunkimuzic (2009-01-16 17:40:58)

own_window_type override bypasses own_window_hints that's why conky is above the windows, however i'm not sure how to get both desired effects with nautilus. I have actually never ran conky in gnome. I'll do some research, does anyone else have an idea?
own_window_hints undecorated,below,above,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
If own_window is yes, you may use these window manager hints to affect the way Conky displays. Notes: Use own_window_type desktop as another way to implement many of these hints implicitly. If you use own_window_type override, window manager hints have no meaning and are ignored.
own_window_type
if own_window is yes, you may specify type normal, desktop or override (default: normal). Desktop windows are special windows that have no window decorations; are always visible on your desktop; do not appear in your pager or taskbar; and are sticky across all workspaces. Override windows are not under the control of the window manager. Hints are ignored. This type of window can be useful for certain situations.
You could try own_window_type desktop but im not sure if it will minimize again.

Camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected

Kodak camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected. Trying to download pictures and adding my music to ipod shuffle, Anyone have any suggestions.

Have you plugged in another USB device to ensure that the USB ports are working?
Suggest you buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

How to keep display as Show when using Hide Show region with pagination?

We are trying to use a 'Hide Show' region with pagination. The problem is that if you 'Show' (ie expand) the region and then hit the link for the next page, the next page displays Hidden (ie collapsed). We want to keep the page display as 'show' when you move to the next set of records.
There is a fix in this forum for this issue in version 2.2 (Application Express) but we are on 2.0.0.00.49 (HTML DB). Does anyone know of a similar fix for HTML DB 2?
Ver 2.2 fix is at:

Thanks.
David.

Thanks for your reply.
Running the application install script via SQL Plus using FLOWS_020000 produces result:
NOT COMPATIBLE (Your export may contain calls not supported by your HTMLDB version.)
The wwv_flow_api package routines that are not available in our version appear to be:
create_or_remove_file
create_install
create_install_script
Is there any way to handle these calls in other ways?
Thanks
David.
